HOUSTON - Sarah Kaufman fought valiantly in her UFC debut but ultimately came up short and suffered a razor-thin split-decision loss to fellow promotional newcomer Jessica Eye. Margus Hunt Bengals Jersey . The womens bantamweight fight took place on the preliminary card of Saturdays "UFC 166: Velasquez vs. dos Santos III" event, at Houstons Toyota Center. "Im a little disappointed because I thought the fight went my way," Kaufman said post fight. "The first round was close, but I felt I started to pull away in the second and tried to finish her in the third when I could see I had wobbled her. We put on a great fight for the fans, and I see this as a small bump in the road on my goal to hopefully become the UFC champion." Kaufman engaged with the smaller Eye from the opening bell, working both at range and in the clinch with heavy punches and the occasional knee to the belly. To her credit, Eye moved laterally and laced a stiff jab, working hard to stay away from her opponent and avoid eating counterstrikes. The strategy worked early on, and her punches battered and bruised Kaufmans right eye, which began to close in the second frame. Kaufman seemed to settle into her rhythm as the fight wore on, and she found her opponents chin more frequently. After a close second round, Kaufman did her best work in the third, and a stiff right hand wobbled Eye and saw her left eye instantly swell. Eye hung on until the final bell, and both women instantly raised their arms in celebration. "I think I did great the first two rounds. I think I stopped and let her get the third round. I dropped my hands and let her get that round," said Eye. "I hate it. I knew better than that and will do better next time, but I feel great." As it turned out, only Eye (11-1) had the right to enjoy the moment, as she was awarded a split-decision win that drew boos from crowd, he seemed to feel Kaufman (16-3) had done enough to take home the victory. Despite Kaufman winning the striking battle, 87-65 according to a FightMetric report, Eye earned the win with scores of 29-28, 28-29 and 29-28. "I feel unbelievable," Eye said after the win. "People say that its an amazing feeling. I cant even describe how I feel right now." Kaufman, a native of Victoria, B.C., is a former Strikeforce womens bantamweight champion who fought eight time for the now-shuttered promotion. She earned the title with a February 2010 win over Takayo Hashi and defended it once before ceding the belt to Marloes Coenen in October 2010. Kaufman also owns Strikeforce wins over onetime UFC title challenger Liz Carmouche and current "The Ultimate Fighter 18" coach Miesha Tate. Kaufman had ben expected to make her UFC debut in August, when she was scheduled to face Sara McMann at "UFC Fight Night: Condit vs. Kampmann 2." However, McMann was forced to withdraw from the card one week before the event, and a replacement opponent could not be secured in time. Will Clarke Bengals Jersey .

The Crew (12-14-5) moved into a tie with New England for sixth place, a point away from the Eastern Conferences final playoff berth with three matches remaining. "The balls in our court, putting pressure on those teams ahead of us," interim Columbus coach Brian Bliss said. FC Dallas (10-10-10) remained eighth in the Western Conference, five points out of fifth. "I think our results are deserving (of criticism)," FC Dallas coach Schellas Hyndman said, "and not just tonight. At the end of the day, its all about results. "Our fans have to hold us higher, as we should be holding ourselves higher." Columbus took a 2-0 lead on goals by Federico Higuain (his 11th) and Jairo Arrieta (third) within the first 17 minutes. Higuain moved in alone to manoeuvr FC Dallas keeper Raul Fernandez out of position. Defender George John moved in to the goal and stopped Higuains shot, but the ball bounced off of him and into the net in the ninth minute. Oduro set up Arrieta with a crossing pass in the 17th. He put tthe ball on his left foot and lifted it over Fernandez and off the crossbar. Jeremy Hill Jersey. The ball bounced down, then back up into the top of the net. FC Dallas came back four minutes later when Blas Perez took a long pass from Mauro Diaz. Goalkeeper Matt Lampson came out, but Perez booted the ball past him into the right corner for his 11th goal. The Crew restored their two-goal margin in the 44th minute when Oduro picked up the ball from Chad Barson near midfield, beat two defenders and moved into the penalty area to send a shot past Fernandez. Oduros 12th goal was unassisted. "Six of (Oduros) goals have come from the wide right midfield and six up top. That shows ourselves, the team and the league he can score from anywhere," Bliss said. FC Dallas moved within 3-2 during the 54th minute when Diaz dribbled past a defender and Lampson to chip the ball in from near the left goalpost. Columbus Bernardo Anor put the game away with his fourth goal in the 86th minute, assisted by Ethan Finlay. "It was pretty relieving for the team," Anor said. "We were ahead just 3-2 in the second period, but that goal gave us a little more space." cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
